DEVICE FOR SUPPLYING OIL TO Application filed September To all whom nay concern:

Be it known that l, lVILLIAM FRANCIS hlnnnarr Rosn, residing at Bristol, England,

a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Devices,

tor Srmplying "Oil to Internal-Qombustion Engines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device; for conve in lubricating oil to the crank-chamtiller hole is located at the front end of the engine and in such close proximity to the fan and radiator that it is ditlicnlt of access even with the use of a tunnel.

The object of the present invention is to provide a. device adapted to be permanently fixed to the engine which will, while operating as av funnel, a strainer and a breather, bring the filler hole into a'niore convenient position to receive oil direct from the tins in which itis supplied. I v

l attain this end by the employment or a uevice adapted to be permanently fixed in position on the engine, said device comprising essentially a hopper shaped on one side to allow it to be bolted on to the side of the engine, a cover for said hopper, and a cranked pipe issuing from said hopper and terminating in nozzle adapted to fit in the filling hole in the crank-chamber after the usual breather cap has been removed, the construction and arrangement of said pipe being such that the vertical axis of its nozzle is offset on and to a suitable distance from the side of the hopper by which it is adapt- I'NTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINES.

ed to be mounted on the engine in order to make said nozzle register withthe filling hole in tl e crank-chamberot the engine.

In the accompanying drawing which illustrates this invention, Fig. 1 is a viewin elevation of the complete device, Fig. 2 is a view in plan thereof, and,.Figs. 3 and i are views in side elevation and plan of an engine .itted with this invention.

Throughout the views similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.

The hopper a of the filler may be of any suitable shape in cross section provided that it has one side a fiat so as to adapt it to be attached to the engine by means of one of the bolts thereof, to which end said flat side is provided with a hole a to receive said bolt. l/Vithin the hopper is the usual strainer (Z and to the lower end of the hopper is attached a cranked pipe 6 which is offset on and from the flat side a of the hopper so as to bring the nozzle 6 of the pipe into register with the filler hole in the crank-chamber of the-engine said nozzle being of such a. sizethat it fits into said hole.

The hopper a is provided with a suitable lid 0.

' What I claim is A filler for conveying oil to the crank chamber of an engine comprisinga conical vessel having one flat side, a cover to said vessel, an outlet pipe cranked and offset in relation to the vessel to bring its orifice into a predetermined position in relation to. said vessel and means for securing the conical vessel to the cylinder block or" the engineby its fiat side.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification. f
